PS, somehow, the blog is stripping out links. This could be the evolution from the original notion of a blog being 'links+commentary' to it being 'things that look like links+commentary'
My laugh for the week

Thanks, I think of it as a gift. Though the theme with the French horn probably was the thing that set it all up.

Jeez! I feel like a creep of a friend. Last semester was rough. It ended with having to drop 3 churches (after a year’s worth of notes), saving 1, and adding 2 new ones.
I had to drop the Korean church, because we couldn’t afford a translator; dropped my Black church and my Gay Church because they weren’t explicitly Pentecostal. So my emphasis will be multi-racial churches which are explicitly Pentecostal.
I am attending 3 churches concurrently, Bible Studies, sermons, street missionaries…
Dumping a year’s worth of work and then stating at 2 new churches. It was a nightmare. I just broke down for a few weeks, and then had to get to work.
I feel I just flaked out on the site.

Well we need a little less flakery here, now that von's going on hiatus. :(

Flaking is almost a required step in the grad school lifecycle:
1- Classwork
2- Qualifying exams
3- Flaking out/Nervous breakdown
4- Wanting to drop out/Alcoholism/Therapy
5- Pep talk from committee chair
6- Dissertation/Thesis
7- ????
8- Profit

Back In The Day I had a variant for #5. Instead of the Chair Pep Talk I had "Two years in the U.S. Army trying (successfully) to stay out of Vietnam."
After that the dissertation was easy (though hardly swift).
For #7 I had a long and complicated tangle, including getting the job I wanted, then losing it, then (eventually) getting a job I wasn't sure I wanted, but being in the right place (Hong Kong) at the right time (end of the 20th century) and thus getting to #8. Short version: "Get lucky."
